Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 pounds corned beef brisket
- 4 cups water
- 1 large onion, quartered
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 pieces black peppercorns
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 carrots, peeled and chopped into 2-inch chunks
- 6 medium Yukon gold potatoes, halved
- 1 head cabbage, cut into 4 wedges
- 0.25 cups mustard (for serving, optional)
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Place the corned beef brisket into the slow cooker, fat-side up. Sprinkle the seasoning packet (if included with your brisket) over the top.
Add the quartered onion, minced garlic, black peppercorns, and bay leaves around the brisket.
Pour in 4 cups of water, ensuring the beef is mostly submerged.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 7 hours.
After 7 hours, add the carrots and halved potatoes to the slow cooker, arranging them around the brisket.
Place the cabbage wedges on top of the vegetables and brisket. Replace the lid and continue cooking on LOW for another 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the vegetables are tender and the corned beef is fork-tender.
Carefully remove the corned beef from the slow cooker and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Serve the corned beef with the potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and offer mustard on the side for added flavor.
